Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At BitStarz, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It should never be viewed as a way to earn money, solve financial problems, or as an investment. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Only spend money you can afford to lose, and remember that the odds always favour the house in the long term.
Age Verification
BitStarz is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher. In Australia, you must be at least 18 years old to gamble online.
We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. By using BitStarz, you confirm that you meet all legal age requirements to gamble in your location.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognise any of the following warning signs in your behaviour, please seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for bills, rent, or other essential expenses
- Hiding your gambling activity or lying about how much you gamble
- Gambling for longer periods or with larger amounts than intended
- Feeling the need to gamble with increasing amounts to get the same excitement
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
- Neglecting family, work, or personal commitments due to gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or to pay gambling debts
- Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
If any of these signs apply to you, please seek professional help immediately.
